#CEVchat

Please join us Oct. 24 at 2 p.m. ET as we take to Twitter to discuss the impact of domestic violence on children.

We’re joining forces with VAWnet to discuss the prevalence and implications of children’s exposure to domestic violence and what parents, practitioners and family advocates can do to help.

15.5 million children in the U.S. live in families in which violence between partners occurred at least once in the previous year and seven million children live in families in which severe partner violence occurred.

We hope you’ll join us using #CEVchat to follow and participate in the conversation.
